Author James Slough Zerbe wrote several books aimed at teaching young boys (probably between the ages of 10 and 18) the fundamentals of such things as how motors and airplanes work, basic carpentry and mechanical skills, and the likes.

This two-book large format (8.5 x 11 inches) is the first in our series and presents the reader with Zerbe's CARPENTRY FOR BOYS and ELECTRICITY FOR BOYS.

By today's standards it is difficult to imagine parents allowing young boys to play around with electrical coils and circuits without strict supervision, but it is also a sad reminder that today's youths cannot, for the most part, build a shelf unit or plane down a sticky door or any other basic carpentry skills.

Both books in this volume are profusely illustrated with hundreds of hand-drawn images. These are a fascinating piece of history and give readers of all ages a glimpse into what boys of 100 years ago were reading and doing.

Good product
Size: 11 Holes
Works well for the must part. I ended up buying a different style bit collar stop because the one provided wasn't solid enough for me. Might be a personal preference

Awesome tool
Very easy to use, only issue I had was the location pin was a bit tight. Chucked it in the drill and polished it up with a scotch-brite and it worked perfectly. The end to end symmetry made it easy to move from one side to the other. Good price as well!

Excellent 11 hole jig
Size: 11 Holes
This jig worked excellently. It doesn't have any instructions, so I watched the video of it. I set it up the way the video showed, and I got decent results. Deducted a star since no instructions.

Good jig
Size: 11 Holes
The jig itself is great. The markings make it easy to be consistent; the design is well thought-out; and the build quality is good. I would recommend replacing the drill bit, though. A nice brad point will serve you better.
